A Little This and That

To anyone who does have expertise with Pitch F/X, I will be needing any pointers I can get, so please drop some hints for me if you can (my contact information is listed at the bottom of this page). I'm really interested in learning how to create graphs like the ones Mike Fast has in this article about Johnny Cueto's first start. I've also read his tutorial on building a database for Pitch F/X data, and while my mind went numb almost immediately, it does sound like a cool idea, but I know very little about Perl and MySQL, so that's another call to any experts out there willing to lend a few pointers. Also: Kyle Lohse, Pat Burrell, Jayson Werth, Geoff Jenkins, Brett Myers, and the Phillies' three-game set with the Mets.
